  They are much more complex, than people know. The one at the bottom is even carrying money with it

  To be honest that is pretty distinctive behaviour.

    Yeah but I’m sure they’d rather be known for something else.

  Now the important question, does it grow back bigger?

    What doesn’t kill you, increases your chances of reproduction.

  Should that also have been mentioned in the ‘Diet’ section as well?

    Maybe they don’t swallow?

  I remember salting those things with my grandpa in his garden when I was a kid.

  I also remember UCSC students cooking and eating them after the school adopted the banana slug mascot.

    Eating slugs sounds like a good way to get horrific parasites… I wouldn’t even trust one that’s been burnt to charcoal.

  Another interesting fact about these, their mucus has a mild anesthetic affect and will numb your tongue if you lick it.

  I thought that was pretty frequent in slugs, isn’t it?

  As someone who is from Or*n, rofl. My parents even have a story about their dog from when I was a baby freaking out about a banana slug while we were camping.
